School starts probe into Youtube fight 28 Sep 2008, 0550 hrs IST,TNN PANAJI: The principal of RMS higher secondary school, Margao, has started an inquiry into an alleged fight between two girl students which was filmed and uploaded on Youtube. A show cause notice will be issued to both the students as per the Goa Education Rules. Confirming this, school principal Vinod Pawar said, "I had asked both the parties to record their statements, but the victim girl has yet to give her statement. On the basis of the statements collected from the school teachers, other students who were witness to the incident, the victim and the accused student, we will come to a conclusion and then decide on the course of action." However, we have still kept open the option for both parties to settle the matter amicably, Pawar added. The victim, in her complaint to the police, said that on September 13 at 3 pm her classmate called her in the classroom telling her that she wanted to talk to her. She then allegedly abused the victim and even hit her badly. The victim further complained that on the next day she learnt that a video clipping of her being beaten up was put up on the net and everyone started calling her up, causing much embarrassment to her. "I have not done anything wrong. I never retaliated or abused the girl who was beating me. But she accused me of spreading rumours against her and beat me. I am innocent and I am traumatised with the whole episode and hurt that it has been uploaded on the net," said the victim. However, her classmates believe that both of them are at fault. Meanwhile, the school authorities are now working on stringent methods to curb the use of mobile phones in the school. Pawar added, "Whenever we catch a student using a mobile phone in the school, we call their parents and take an undertaking from them that if they are again caught, they will be issued a school leaving certificate. But the number of students using mobile phones in the school is large and we can't everyday indulge in policing and checking the students' bags."
